I have not tried this with my FAQ yet, but am trying it with a large
collection of documents that constitute a textbook on Modula-2 that I am
going to make available on the Web. I am using Nisus on the Mac as the
word processor and putting all the HTML markup in a style that includes the
invisible attribute, along with the styles such as bold in the word
processor itself, so that to some extent the word processor is a browser.
A formatted text version can be seen by checking the preference not to show
invisible text, and stored by stripping all text with the invisible
attribute.
